Vollketten, on Mar 27 2015 - 14:21, said: Chief, an old edition of AFV News had this vehicle: 'Proposed 2-Man
Tank (Heavy)'
It is described as being the
brainchild of Lt.Col. G.M.Barnes, US Army Ordnance Dept in April
1938 2 Crew, Driver and Gunner 20-25 horsepower per ton max speed
20mph on 5% slope and 35mph on the road. 1.5" armour as
standard Gunner is also the commander as the gun is a 37mm
'self-loader' with a .30 calibre machine gun with a 60 degree
traverse (30 deg each side I assume) 11' long 6.5' wide 4.5' high 7
tons (so 20-25hp/t would mean a 140 to 175hp engine) Capable of
crossing a 4' trench Further information on this is
apparently in the Manuscript Collection and Archives of the US
Military History Institute at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania
consisting of 9 plates and seven further appendices. Have
you come across this vehicle in your hunt or is this collection on
your radar for further hunting? The_Chieftain: No, can't say it is. You know, I really should try to
put Carlisle on my list of places to go this year.
